STEELE's TAVERN, July 25.-One hundred
and eighteen years ago Post-ofice was grant
ed Steele's Tavern, or Midway village, which
rests in rural simplicity on the border lines
of Augusta and Rockbridge counties 1t has
q post-office yet, owing to its Centennarean
age, and w. W, Thomas, the postmaster, has
held the position for twenty-five years. It
was at Steele's Tavern, in 1881, that the first
reaper was tried by the famed Robert McCor-
mick, and being midway between Staunton
and Lexington, 1t became a noted stopping
place in the good old days." and is probably
better known, of the past, than any roadway
hostelry in the State. The Shenandoah Val
ley on the one side and the B. & o. Railway
on the other, each about two miles distant,
have changed Midway village to little more
than memory and have given birth to new
villages which draw the trade and have a
likely future. On the Shenandoah Valley r.
r. has sprung up the village of
vEsUvIUs@
and by the enterprise of few energetic men,
who believe in the regions advantages, and
the fact that there is no opportunity like the
present for activity, the influence of the place
is being ardently extended.
The Vesuvius section is greatly indebted
for its improvements to q. II. Rawlings, who
has caused the erection of several buildings
in and around the village and is forwarding
the regions prosperity in every advisable
manner. In 1874 he located near the present
embryo town, bought the large milling prop
erty of Capt. Hugh F. Lyle and opened in
connection Herewith a general merchandise
store. The Shenandoah Valley r. r. COM
menced running its trains in 1882 and after a
station was established there, Messrs. Spencer
g. Mcclure erected large general store which
they operated for some time, but after the
completion of the B. & o. r. r. they moved
to Spottswood, station on that line, and Mr..
was the purchaser of the store and
good will at Vesuvius. The patronage has
sincelincreased steadily and he is now doing
large business. These enterprises in connec-
tion with others, all the while improving,
have made the place an important center,
spoken of far and wide.
The mill, as now operated, is solid and
attractive structure, measuring 50x30 feet,
with three foors and internally is admirably
arranged granting large capacity. The mill
nas considerable call of patronage, and the
miller, Mr.. John Koogler, is worthy of the
md man.
Two years ago Mr. Rawlings established on
he Blue Ridge mountains, six miles distant,

If the Democracy of Virginia can learn
anything from the past, it must try and
remember that apathy, pure, unadulter-
ated apathy, was the cause of its loss OF
congressman last year. If it chooses to
60 through the same experience next fall,
it need Only adopt the same policy. This
coming fight is nearer home than con-
gressmen; it is for legislature; but all
the same if the same lack Of work and in
terest is shown it will lose that too. If
the Democrats of Virginia stay at home
and expects somebody else to do it's vot-
ing for it, it will find somebody else at
the capitol making its laws for it.

Opening of the mails is generally more or less
interesting to all classes of business men and
private individuals. IN our profession of edit
ing newspaper we are treated to great va
riety of letters, some pompous and dry, others
racy and humorous, some sentimental and lack
adaisical. a few fault finding. and many, which
we value very highly, of genuine praise. Our
reporter was entirely unaware of the surprise
which YVES in store for him when he accepted
an invitation from Messrs. A. Fl. Dixon & Son to
be present at the Opening Of their mails a few
DAYS ago. at their office. No. 800 King street
West where they claim 20 cure the worst cases
of Catarrh In from one to three applications by
their new method Of treating this prevalent and
hitherto incurable disease. Letters of praise
and thankfulness were opened by the score
from many parts of Cenada and the States and
even from Great Britain, from parties who had
used the new remedy-eaeh letter being sulf-
Gent proof in itself that the new treatment for
Catarrh is all that Messrs. Dixon K Son claim.
For the benefit of our readers who may be suffer
ing from Catarrh, we will publish shortly some
extracts from a few of the letters which our re-
porter perused, emitting for obvious reasons the
names of the writers.

Catarrhal Deafness and Hay Fever!
Catarrh. Catarrhal Deafness, Hay
Fever, a New Treatment.
From the Montreal Star, Nor. II. 1855.

From the Montreal Star. Nor. II, 1885.
Perhaps the most extraordinary success that
has been achieved in modern medicine has been
attained by the Dixon Treatment of Catarrh,
Catarrhal Deafness and Hay Fever. Out of 900
patients treated during the past six months,
fully 90 per cent have been cured. This is none
the less startling when it is remembered
that not five per cent. of patients presenting
themselves TO the regular practitioner are bene-
fitted, while the patent medicines and other adj
vertised cures never record a cure at all. Start
ing with the claim now generally believed by
the most scientific men, that these diseases are
due to the presence of living parasites in the
tissue, Mr.. Dixon at once adapted his cure to
their determination. his accomplished, the
disease practically cured. and the permanency
uuquestloned, as cures effected by him five years
ago are cures still. No one else has ever at
tempted TO cure those diseases in this manner
and no other treatment has ever cured Catarrh
Catarrhal Deafness or Hay Fever. The appli-
cation of the remedy is simple, and can be done
at home, and the present season of the year is
the most favorable for speedy and permanent
cure, the majority of cases being cured at one
treatment. Sufferers should correspond with
MessIs. A. H. DIXON & SON, 3e5 King street
West, Toronto. Canada, and inclose stamp for
their treatise describing this new treatment.
